Republicans want a dictatorship.

Google+ did it and it didn't work.

ignores the fact that multiple shots-at-different-exposures-combined-at-print-time has been used in film for nearly as long as we've had film cameras.

Multi shot for HDR in film is restricted to still life because film is very slow compared to digital. There's no film camera that will automatically change the stops to make that feasible. So it's take a shot, adjust settings, take another, adjust settings. At the low and high end you'd need to swap film stock between shots.

@Blue_Morpho responded about how film is so bad that Kubrik choose digital,

??? I said to achieve low light performance on FILM, Kubrick needed a lens that was (and is) so special that only 10 exist in the world. What was possible for Kubrick using extraordinarily rare and expensive equipment is achieved by anyone with a common digital camera today.

So while you can find references to film that matches digital, it is so extreme that it isn't valid. It would be like someone using the cryogenic cooled sensor in the $10B Webb telescope for their argument.

Film is so bad in low light that Kubrick had to obtain 3 of the 10 NASA lenses to film Barry Lyndon. Any modern digital can take better low light pictures than the best film.

play great on a smartphone.

Physical controls are a necessity for retro games. Get a Miyoo Mini Plus or equivalent. They make retro games playable.

I wonder how long this will be legal. Elon likely has his lawyers planning lawsuits against people for not buying Teslas.

It's my favorite Trek since DS9. I need to re watch it. I was annoyed by Mariner and Boimler during the first episodes. But they had fantastic character development that made the first episodes necessary.

Media requires money. Republicans have the backing of Billionaires and foreign states.

Fox news is the largest media company in the US with 43% market share. Newsmax is at 10 and Oan is at 7. That's 60% right wing not including non traditional media like Joe Rogan which has more viewers/listeners than CBS/NBC/ABC news.
(Joe Rogan at 14 M. CBS has 4M, NBC 7M, ABC 8M)

So mainstream media is Right wing. Additionally unlike left wing media which will criticize anyone, Right Wing Media is extremely Trump loyal. So on one side you have criticism of left and right while Fox/Newsmax/OAN only criticize the left. This creates a right wing bias for mainstream media.

Mainstream media is controlled by Republicans. It is not possible to get any message out to all Americans. Left wingers will not defend their Left leaders the way Right Wingers defend their leaders so any Dem that sticks their neck out will be attacked by the Right and get no protection.

I realized it's not a spoiler because everyone already knows there's no Spore drive in all other Star Treks. So here's the post that was deleted by the mod and got me banned from ten forward:

When you finish season 5, post back and I'll post my problem with season 5 that got me banned from ten forward. Some people take spore drive extremely seriously.

??? This article had nothing to do with "moderates failing at government"

It was an analysis of government management methods independent of political ideology. It showed that training low level managers improves performance more than sweeping changes which have a temporary boost at the cost of long term failure.

They are a minority party so they have no levers. The Right has tens of thousands who will risk jail to threaten the left about anything. The left politicians have no citizens that will stand up and protect them the way the right has protection.

Congressional reps who absolutely had the right to enter a building they oversaw

No they don't. A bill was submitted in 2023 but never made a law.

When Trump lost the last election, his followers stormed the capital. When Harris lost, nothing.

Which was my point.

mqtt

Doesn't mqtt need a broker? (A server?) For me, putting mosquito in a docker or a pi isn't a problem but that's not plug and play for a regular person. Because once you introduce a server like that, it needs security patches and becomes a point of failure out of control of the iot vendor. I know I wouldn't want to take the tech support call when the iot device doesn't work and have to walk them through debugging a pi.

Why is a pencil masculine? It's a pencil, not a person.

Gendering an explicitly non gendered inanimate object helps structure your thoughts?

I'd argue that following those grammar rules damages your thoughts.
